Right, I'm off to sunny Wales for the weekend. Might pop in occasionally to say hello.
While you're there, say hello to Duke but don't bring him home with you :)
Sat here watching The £100K Drop, where a couple had to identify which pie was suitable for vegetarians. They thought that a Gala Pie was made with apples.

Look at it this way - two lots of contestants per show, and how many shows in a series? That could start getting quite expensive!
Besides, they make me feel intelligent :)

I had no idea what a Gala Pie was. There's no way to tell just from the name. Apple pie contains apple. Pork pie contains pork. Those at least make sense. Gala pie contains gala???I just looked it up - I have no sense of loss. If I saw one for sale, I'd avoid it.
What were the other options? Maybe if I was there I could have got the right answer by a process of elimination.
The other options were Shropshire fidget pie and Homity pie.
I wouldn't touch a Gala pie either.

Gala is quite a well-known apple which probably confused them. Used to have gala pie quite often when I was young but I didn’t know it had a name till fairly recently. No idea why it’s called that. Maybe because it’s a posher version of a plain pork pie.
Grizzlygrump wrote: "The other options were Shropshire fidget pie and Homity pie..."No I wouldn't have known either of those. Mind you I'm not a pie kind of person.
I used to like my mum's apple crumble but I find pork pies indigestible.
I’ve heard of homity pie but didn’t know what was in it. Sounds yummy!
Does sound yummy but quite a bit of faffing around for a pie that might feed two people. I've never heard of any of them and none of them made Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds. Is a Gala pie from Galashiels or is it just for high days and holidays because it's got a hard-boiled egg in it?
Yes, I think it’s just a step up from an ordinary pork pie and served at a buffet at a gala for instance. We used to have it at home with salad for Saturday tea when my mum and I had been working all day and were too knackered to cook.
From Tipping Point:Q. What surname is shared by a former Mayor of London and a 19th century explorer who named the Victoria Falls?
A. Niagara?
The same contestant (a civil servant) had the question: Which composer said “I shall hear in Heaven?” The choices were Beethoven, Wagner and Mozart.
Ok, perhaps not general knowledge if you know nothing about music, but he actually said “Well I think Van Gogh had something wrong with his ear, but I don’t know about those.” He did eventually get Beethoven however.
I bought an elephant this afternoon!
Is it white or pink? Which room will it be in?
It's multicoloured. There will be a photo.
I sold an elephant yesterday afternoon!Now I just have to get this bridge and the big Meccano set in Paris off my hands.
Lucky your bid for the Wiltshire flatpack failed.

Something similar in store for post-Brexit migrants I fear?

After growing up in Ireland and then the UK whilst having little else to watch but mainly American Kids Shows on TV - this made me laugh out loud the other day ;o> 'Are anyone else's kids developing a British accent?' - American parents reveal their children are changing the way they speak after watching 'Peppa Pig' ...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...
Just what is a ‘British’ accent??Zebra and tomato are different pronunciations, not accents. Sigh.
Nah, zebra and tomato are different words Lez.
I'm not sure, Lez Lee? ... isn't Accent defined as being all about Intonation - whereas Pronunciation is all about Articulation?

I'm trying my best to understand? ... it would seem that the Rev is very cross and disappointed in me at my over greediness in NOT claiming for this unpaid fund that I never asked for or wanted? ;o>

Ohhh good! - I thought it was my Medication that was at fault for a while there! ;o>

Perhaps if it hadn't been 'a secret information' you would have known about it. You should send him a letter of thanks :)
